I really dont remember what the equipment was, but it sounds like the Roland JP8000 and Korg Trinity or Triton. I have absolutely no clue where the drop samples are coming from. Maybe the've been ripped from another game

ART Multiverb LT Here is how you do it: Grab any stereo multieffect processor and a patch cable. Turn the volume (input/output) all the way down and set the signal patch to wet (only). Plug in a patch cable into the output and the other end into the (mono) input. (For example Output L to Input L), you may also use the other input, as the result may depend on the effect unit used. Now plug in a cable into the other output and the other end into your recording equipment (it would be a good idea, to use a limiter between, as the signal can get VERY hot very fast) Now turn the unit on and the output level slowly up. Then turn the input level SLOWLY up, to create a sound. Quickly turn the volume down again before its clipping. You need to experiment a little with the input gain to find the sweet spot. Be careful, the feedback can get very intense, loud and could damage your gear, speakers or ears. Use at your own risk!
